José Alberto has new open fronts regarding the drawing and the players to use this Sunday against Girona. The return of Jozabed, already recovered from the muscle injuryr that separated him from the first league games, opens the range of options that the coach has and gives rise to a new debate regarding the next eleven.
The midfielder reappeared in the second half against Almería and signed a very good end of the game. He had two chances to score and the team improved greatly with him on the pitch. In preseason he started with an apparent starting role. However, his injury took him out of the team just before the first match against Mirandés and that, together with the arrival of Antoñín, caused José Alberto to opt for a scheme with two forwards with Antoñín and Brandon as stilettos.
Jozabed's return places the technician in the dilemma of maintaining the system with two forwards or giving up one of the attackerss to enter the Sevillian as an interior or something more advanced, in the midfielder. It seems less likely, from the outset, the option for Jozabed to form in the double pivot with Escassi or Luis Muñoz, who have been fixed until now and everything indicates that they will maintain their status.
Antoñín and Brandon have not finished settling down yet and they have not shown the potential they have and what is expected of them. The two forwards are called to be important players in the project, but they must improve their performance a lot. The recovery of Jozabed may put his ownership in question, although it should not be ruled out that the midfielder continues to start on the bench or that the one sacrificed in the event that José Alberto includes him in the eleven is Paulino, since it seems very unlikely that Kevin Given your high level so far, jump out of the lineups.
In any case, the range of options that José Alberto has multiplies with the incorporation of Jozabed after his injury. The Asturian will not reveal the solution to the enigmas caused by his return until Sunday.
